The Hope College men's tennis team hosts the first of five home indoor tennis matches
in preparation for the outdoor season on Wednesday (Feb. 14) when the Flying Dutchmen
host Grand Rapids Community College (3:30 p.m.) at the college's DeWitt Tennis Center.

The indoor matches will be a prelude to the team's annual spring break trip to Hilton
Head, S.C. from March 19-23. The regular season begins in late March culminated by
Hope hosting the MIAA championships from May 4-5.

Coach Steve Gorno returns six players from the 2000 team which finished second in
the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and posted a school-record
19-5 dual match record. In eight seasons, Gorno has guided the Dutchmen to a 92-61
dual match record.

Mann, who most likely will play at the number one singles spot, achieved All-MIAA
first team honors as a freshman while Bouchard received All-MIAA second team recognition
for the second consecutive year.

Last spring Mann (2nd flight), Bouchard (3rd), Malviya (5th) and Honholt (sixth flight)
finished second in their respective flights at the MIAA championships. Bouchard, Mann
and Gingras were members of doubles teams that were second at the MIAA championships.

The Hope tennis program continues to benefit from the college's DeWitt Tennis Center,
a six-court facility that opened in 1994. This facility has allowed Hope's tennis
teams to have an indoor season during Michigan's winter months. The Dutchmen were
5-1 indoors last year.
